    a. Application Type: Amendment of License.
    b. Project No.: 184-060.
    c. Date Filed: July 19, 1999.
    d. Applicant: El Dorado Irrigation District (EID) and Pacific Gas & 
Electric Company (PG&E).
    e. Name of Project: El Dorado Hydroelectric Project.
    f. Location: On the South Fork American River and its tributaries, 
in El Dorado, Alpine, and Amador Counties, California. A large part of 
the project is located on more than 2,200 acres of federal land within 
the Eldorado National Forest.
    g. Filed Pursuant to: 18 CFR 4.200.
    h. Applicant Contact: Mr. William T. Hetland, El Dorado Irrigation

    i. FERC Contact: Any questions on this notice should be addressed

    j. Deadline for filing comments and/or motions: September 20, 1999.
    All documents (original and eight copies) should be filed with: 
David P. Boergers, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 
First Street, NE, Washington DC 20426.
    Please include the project number (184-060) on any comments or 
motions filed.
    k. Description of Filing: EID proposes to reconstruct the El Dorado 
Diversion Dam and to construct a 1.8-mile-long bypass tunnel to replace 
a damaged portion of the existing El Dorado Canal. Both the diversion 
dam and the canal were severely damaged by storm runoff and land 
slides, which occurred during January 1997. Reconstruction of the dam 
would involve a headwall, replacement of a fish ladder, and an intake 
facility with a fish screen that would be reconstructed on the north 
side instead of the south side of the channel. The 1.8-mile-long bypass 
tunnel would replace about 2.3 miles of damaged wood and concrete 
portions of the canal. EID proposes to remove the damaged portions of 
the canal and to stabilize the portions that would remain unused 
following construction of the bypass tunnel.
    l. Location of the application: A copy of the application is 
available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public 
Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE, Room 2A, Washington,
